Grey Day, Black Mood

Personal, Poetry, ruminations, Thoughts
ashes to ashes, dust to dust, illness, Life & death, the end
21 Comments

It’s been a year in which I’ve seen many friends and relatives lose their loved ones or suffer long, serious illnesses. While I’ve counted my blessings and said innumerable thanks to the Lord, I’ve often been pulled down and felt deflated.

Another day, another gust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
When it’s time, go we must
But must it be now and must it be thus?

very much son.

I’m sorry that it’s been a sad year for you. As you say- dust to dust. Hence no better reason “to gather ye rosebuds while ye may” Take care Kunal and Hugs to you!😊

  Thanks, CF, appreciate your concern and wishes. It’s not as much immediate family (thank God!!!) as extended circle, but it’s so many and so often that it makes me think…
